About

Crux Wealth Advisors is a registered investment adviser managing roughly $547.7 million for about 656 clients through a team of 11 advisors. The firm provides financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, wealth management consulting, and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, charities, pension plans, and privately held businesses.

Advisors at Crux follow a process‑driven model but retain independence to use a range of analytic approaches — including asset allocation, fundamental, technical, quantitative, and qualitative analysis — and most managed accounts are handled on a discretionary basis with regular monitoring and at least annual client reviews. The firm’s product set includes common stocks, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, options, as well as more complex instruments such as buffer ETFs and structured products; its brochure highlights the specific risks and limited‑outcome characteristics of those structured offerings.

Compared with many multi‑team peers, Crux requires clients to custody assets at a specific qualified custodian (Pershing) and directs transactions through that provider, and several advisors maintain dual roles (registered representative or insurance agent) that can involve commission‑based activities. The combination of a directed‑custodian model, an affiliated insurance agency, and the use of complex structured investments are notable features that may give rise to potential conflicts of interest clients should review.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
